Numbers, of course, are just numbers - until you do something with them, that is. Yesterday we published the full general election 2010 results as a spreadsheet - something you can't get anywhere else. This is how we've used the data so far.

We wanted to see how people voted around the country - where the Conservatives' vote was strongest, where Labour did worst. So we used our election results spreadsheet (and some great data drawing apps from the wonderful Simon Willison) and graphic artist Paul Scruton to produce some graphics for the paper showing some of the constituency-level data available. You can get it as a pdf here.

The maps include:

• Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, BNP and Green share of the vote by constituency• Turnout by constituency• Swings from labour to the Liberal Democrats and to the Conservatives.
